Stock purchased pursuant to this Agreement.

shall be subject to a right of first refusal in favor of Buyer (the "Right of
First Refusal") until August 1, 2003 (the "Right of First Refusal Period"). IDT
Investments shall not transfer any of the Remaining Shares other than to an
affiliate controlled by IDT during the Right of First Refusal Period unless
-9-
it shall have provided Buyer with notice in writing stating (1) that it has
received a firm offer to purchase such shares, (2) the fair market value of the
consideration proposed to be paid to IDT Investments in such transfer (the
"Aggregate Purchase Price") (or, in the case of a proposed sale of shares in a
transaction registered under the Securities Act or in accordance with Rule
144(f) thereunder, the Aggregate Purchase Price per share shall be equal to the
lower of (i) the average daily closing price per share of the Company for the
ten trading days prior to the date on which IDT Investments notifies Buyer in
writing that it proposes to enter into a binding agreement within five days for
the sale of such shares and (ii) such other purchase price as determined by IDT
Investments), as well as the other terms thereof and (3) in the case of a
proposed buyer who is also a Holder, the identity of the proposed buyer. In the
event that the Aggregate Purchase Price of the Remaining Shares proposed to be
sold by IDT Investments to a third party purchaser determined in accordance with
clause (2) in the preceding sentence equals or exceeds $100,000,000, Buyer shall
have 21 days from the date of such written notice (the "Notice Period") to
advise IDT Investments whether it wishes to exercise the Right of First Refusal.
If Buyer advises IDT Investments in writing that it wishes to exercise the Right
of First Refusal, thereupon IDT Investments and Buyer will be deemed to have
agreed to the sale to Buyer of such shares upon financial terms and conditions
no less favorable to IDT Investments than those set forth in the notice, the
closing thereon to occur as promptly as practicable following the receipt of all
necessary regulatory approvals; provided, however, that if all necessary
regulatory approvals are not obtained within 90 days from the date of the
notice, the provisions in this Section 6.3 shall automatically terminate. If
Buyer notifies IDT Investments in writing that it does not wish to purchase such
shares, or such 21 day period elapses without any written notification by Buyer,
then IDT Investments shall be free to dispose, or contract to dispose, of such
shares upon terms and conditions no more favorable to a third party than those
set forth in the notice for a period of 60 days; provided, however, (i) that if
IDT Investments identified a Holder as the proposed buyer in its notice to
Buyer, such shares shall only be sold to such Holder and (ii) that in the case
of a proposed sale of shares in a transaction registered under the Securities
Act or in accordance with Rule 144(f) thereunder, the sale of such shares for a
price equal to the prevailing market price of such shares at the time of such
sale shall not be considered a price, term or condition more favorable than the
Aggregate Purchase Price set forth in the notice. If the aggregate purchase
price of the Remaining Shares proposed to be sold by IDT Investments to a third
party purchaser determined in accordance with clause (2) of the second sentence
of this Section 6.3 is less than $100,000,000, the Notice Period shall be seven
days from the date of written notice. Notwithstanding the foregoing, provided
that the Closing has occurred, individual sales of not more than 100,000 shares
of Class A Stock by IDT Investments, up to an aggregate of 2,000,000 shares of
Class A Stock during the Right of First Refusal Period, shall not be subject to
the provisions of this Section 6.3.
6.4 Conversion of Remaining Shares. IDT Investments shall convert such
number of the Remaining Shares, which have not been previously sold by IDT
Investments, into shares of Common Stock as requested by Buyer by written notice
delivered not less than eight days prior to the date the shares are to be
converted into shares of Common Stock upon the payment in cash to IDT
Investments of an amount equal to 10% of the average daily closing price per
share of Common Stock for the 20-trading day period ending on the day prior to
the date of such notice of conversion in respect of each of the Remaining Shares

therefore agree that the parties hereto shall be entitled to specific
enforcement of the terms hereof in addition to any other remedy to which the
parties hereto may be entitled at law or in equity.
